If an action I state expressed in S kawari ni does not actually occur as in
Exs.(a) and (c), the entire sentence can be rewritten by using -nai de or -zu ni,
as shown in [la]. If an action 1 state expressed in the subordinate clause
actually occurs and the subordinate clause is connected with the main clause
-

=
= - with the meaning of 'so' or 'but,' the entire sentence can be rewritten by
; K 3
-
k kara I node or ga I keredo(mo) I shikashi, as shown in [lb] and [lc]. However,

the choice of kawari ni will make the meaning of compensation much clearer.

The crucial difference between -nai de, -zu ni, ga, keredo(mo), shikashi on
one hand, and kawari ni (as a subordinate conjunction) on the other hand is
that the former can be used even when no meaning of balancing is intended,
but the latter cannot be used if balancing is not implied. That is why all the
following sentences would become unacceptable if -nai de, -zu ni, ga,
keredo(mo), and shikashi were replaced by kawari ni.
